Construction work is not like a walk in the park. That’s why many people with many ideas collaborate to complete the job. It won’t be wrong to say that a lot of comprehensive planning is done to ensure the construction project goes smoothly from beginning to end. But as we know that we humans are prone to making mistakes, it is really amazing that ridiculous blunders are made even under the supervision of “experts”. Here are a few silly construction fails that don’t make any sense at all. Buckle up because it is going to be a hilarious ride.
1. Please Watch Your Head
This picture is a perfect example of why trial tests are important in every field of life. It seems pretty obvious that you will hit your head while going up. This is just crazyyy!!!
2. Don’t Worry The Alignment is Just Perfect
Although one end of the bridge is meant to connect with the other one, it seems like a serious blunder was made. I guess they don’t want the cars to cross or maybe fall of the junction. Who knows what was going through the mind of the people behind this project.
3. ATM Only for Tall People
When an ATM is placed at such a height, it seems obvious that they don’t want short people to use it. This is really absurd yet hilarious at the same time. What were they thinking while installing this ATM?
4. No Need for Stairs
It seems like the construction workers behind this masterpiece thought that giants would be using this door. Therefore, they decided to ignore the stairs. It is certainly a construction fail as this door cannot be in the blueprint of the house.
5. Entrance from the Movie Harry Potter
Fans of Harry Potter might’ve guessed this entrance looks kind of familiar. The stairwell is leading you somewhere unknown. We just cannot understand why people would do such things.
6. You First
What is with this space-saving at public washrooms? It is simply absurd because two toilets cannot be this close to each other. One thing can be said with certainty that the person behind this has a wicked mind and he definitely wants people to wait in line even when one of the toilets is not being used.
7. Free Fall Slide
If you want to give a death sentence to someone, then have them take this slide blindfolded. Okay, we are just kidding…don’t ever do that!
One wonders what was going through the mind of a person who created this crazy slide.
8. Truck Down…We repeat, Truck Down!
At the first glance of this humongous truck, one wonders what kind of force was strong enough to pull this heavy machinery down. Well, that force was none other than a human. We just hope that no one was hurt in this construction fail.
9. No Bad Time to Play Tic Tac Toe
This has to be the best picture on the internet. Why? Well, there is no sight better than two mates making the best of available time (even if it is during duty timing) to play a game we all love playing. Who won the game? Any thoughts?
10. If There is Space, We Can Build Something On It
It is astonishing how the government allowed the contractor to raise such a building on a busy road. It won’t be a big surprise if the government decides to demolish this building someday. For the sake of people, we hope this happens soon.
11. Wrong Place
One of the biggest mysteries of this world is how this crocodile found itself in a construction site. Many experts have spent years to find the answer to no avail. It seems like all construction activities are put on hold…obviously, who would want to become a meal of an alligator.
By looking at the size of it, we estimate that it took many hours to get rid of this guest.

12. Explain the Purpose!
If you want to see a perfect example of failed design, then just look at this picture. It is really difficult to comprehend the real purpose of this design; it can either be to look beautiful or cause trouble?
13. Destroying Success!
Whoever came up with an idea to make this type of bridge for students of civil engineering class deserves a big round of applause. It is funny yet meaningful as well.
14. No Effort, No Tissues
The person who designed this toilet certainly didn’t want people to waste tissues. The award for most “eco-friendly person” goes to the man who designed this toilet.
15. You Shall Not Pass!
The person who constructed this drawer didn’t want anyone to properly access it. Well, it seems like that person succeeded – all hail the stubborn stove knob.
16. Dual Function Sink
The man who designed this modern art needs a medal and then he must be arrested for obstruction of comfort. There are no words enough to say about this absurd use of sink and flush.
17. A Purposeless Bridge
Can anyone explain the purpose of this bridge? Aren’t bridges supposed to be built over water? But if we look on the bright side then it is designed to enhance the ambiance of the swimming pool.
18. A Peculiar Garage
The world and the people in it never fail to amaze us. We wonder what was going through the mind of the owner when he decided to put a garage on the first floor. It will remain a mystery forever!
19. Uncomfortable Toilet Space
Whoever designed this toilet didn’t want to waste any space. Kudos for that person! This is just out of this world.
20. Slides for Kids?
Well, the people who built this bridge are time-travelers. It is because they knew someday water will flow under this bridge and people will use it to cross between one end of the water to the other.
21. Upside Down Door
Well, it seems pretty obvious that the carpenter was running late for something so he hurried things up. Be grateful you homeowner because at least he fixed the door.
22. Privacy? What Privacy?
Goodbye to those old days when people used the bathroom without being seen. One wonders why doors are even used!
23. You Shall Not Pass (Version 2)
The people who positioned these poles didn’t want others to pass the passage without doing some exercise. They know that people do not exercise a lot and they were like “let’s make these people do some exercise.” How thoughtful they were…good people still exist in the world.
24. The Door to the Other World
Although this is the wrong place to put the door, one can argue that it may be leading to another world. Who knows what secrets lies behind this door. It is still a mystery because anyone who went through that door didn’t come back to tell the tale.
25. A Genuine Apology?
Although this sign is funny, one thing is for sure that the construction company wants to send a clear message “show some patience everyone.” This is indeed a smart sign that deserves some recognition.
26. Stairs that Take You Nowhere
Hold on a sec!
It is really difficult to understand the real purpose behind these stairs. However, we’ll assume that the owner had too much cement at his disposal and he wanted to waste it by constructing something that may give a good reason to laugh in the future.

27. Foolproof Security
Some people may think this is the stupidest use of a gate ever. However, we have come to understand that the purpose of installing this gate by the side of the entrance is to make sure no one walks straight. Ingenious, right?
28. Future Planning?
Well, the people who built this bridge are time-travelers. It is because they knew someday water will flow under this bridge and people will use it to cross between one end of the water to the other
29. The Invisible Mountain
Instead of coming to the conclusion that there is a tunnel but no mountain, why not assume that there is a mountain but it cannot be seen with a naked eye. It would make a lot of sense if you go with the latter option. Or there is another possibility that the tunnel is there to shield the vehicles from rain or flying rocks.
30. Getting Stuck
Life is really unpredictable. Who knew this Volvo would get stuck like this. It seems like the damage has been done and it is advisable to leave it there for others to see.
31. Hide & Seek
Who needs such a big cabinet in their kitchen? A fully grown person can fit into it and it has made us think that this cabinet is just a perfect place to hide while playing hide & seek. Given that a fully grown man can fit into this cabinet, it is more suitable to call it a wardrobe.
32. When There's a Will, There's a Way
As it seems obvious that the pole is not in the right place, the road construction workers weren’t really fussed about it. They could’ve uprooted the pole to make sure that no one gets hurt. However, they went with a more sensible approach to create a connecting small path. Way to go guys!
33. Please Go Slow
What comes to your mind when you see a tortoise? Its slowness and how sluggish they are, right? Well, the construction worker couldn’t get hold of a ‘slow sign’ and had to improvise. And he improvised perfectly. He found a tortoise (strange he couldn’t find the slow sign) and used it as a slow sign. Please someone give this guy a medal.
34. An Out-of-place Window?
It is so difficult to understand the motive behind constructing a window in such a location. We cannot sort out why the builder decided to do it. Maybe he wanted to add a window to give a more classy touch to the house – who knows what was going through his mind at that time.
35. The Flying Car
The car was parked in the non-parking area, right? If yes then it is a bit harsh on the driver…and, of course, the car itself as well. What if the car falls down? It seems as if a parking ticket would’ve done the job just right. Well, who are we to give suggestions.
36. Witty Advertisement
Although the message is quite clear, some wives can think otherwise. Nevertheless, it is a fail that is super hilarious. Needless to say, he is the right guy to call if your husband hasn’t finished what he started (wink wink).
37. A Timely Warning
Let’s just take a few seconds out of our busy lives and praise the person who went through all the trouble of putting up this warning sign. Surely many lives were saved that day. It is believed that the person behind this warning sign was Jeff Goldblum.
38. Rise Up
It would take a lot of mental strength to go along with the idea of lifting heavy machinery. After all, one incorrect move and things could go wrong within a matter of seconds. We hope everything went smoothly.
39. Hey Guys…It’s Nap Time
Sleeping at work is not professional at all, but you can give them credit for taking a nap without a single worry in the world. They look like little babies who just want a good nap. Needless to say, a construction worker should never sleep at work.
40. No Parking Means No Parking!
Well, this is one of the best, non-violent ways to send a message to someone who can’t understand the meaning of “no parking.” And the threat of selling the machinery on eBay gives more intensity to the warning.
41. A Perfect Entrance?
Here is a perfect example of a construction fail. The material used in making the ceiling got weak and that person was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It can be a really painful and embarrassing moment for anyone to get stuck in roof ceiling like that. We hope he got help fast.
42. The Best Place to Sit
The wall over the section of bleachers suggests that the minds behind the wall didn’t want people to watch the game. This blunder should be corrected as soon as possible because it looks like a perfect place to torture your enemies.
43. No Use of Ladder
We don’t know whether it was intentional or not. There are two possibilities: (1) the worker was in a hurry and called it a day with an incomplete and careless work (2) the owner specifically asked the worker to make sure no one ever uses the ladder again. Option two seems more believable, right?
44. A Bathtub Puzzle
It just seems to us that the plumber was a big fan of puzzles and wanted the homeowners to solve a puzzle every time before taking a bath. Or maybe he was sleep-deprived and unintentionally placed more knobs. Legend has it that the people of the house take an average of 24 hours to solve the puzzle before taking bath.
45. Door for Children’s Room?
Even looking at this picture makes you feel agitated. The handle from either side needs to be fixed as quickly as possible. We just hope that this door wasn’t used as the main door of the house.
46. Be Prepared for What Lies Ahead
Any fan of the movie Lion King here? Well, if you have enjoyed the movie then it can be said with absolute surety that you hated one particular character called Scar. Ah yes, the infamous uncle! Well, Scar sings a song in the movie titled “be prepared” and this is what makes this sign so crazy. This sign is a clear warning to anyone who dares to cross this area.
47. A Selective Drive-through
It seems pretty obvious that there is some discrimination going on here. The smaller cars can pass but trucks cannot pass? Why would you do that? And there is a safety issue as well.
48. You Shall Not Pass (Ultimate Version)
Okay, this picture is super funny for two reasons: (1) the way this girl is standing so close to the pillar (2) the pillar that is blocking the pathway. In order to pass this pillar, the girl has to do some gymnastics.
49. Not For Adults
We don’t know what to say about this picture. But we would really like to find the plumber who did this job and give him some medal for it and then have him arrested. It seems like the plumber intentionally selected a spot that is super uncomfortable. It is a wicked act by a person who must get some acknowledgment.
50. A Perfect Demo?
Whoever came up with an idea to make this type of bridge for students of civil engineering class deserves a big round of applause. It is funny yet meaningful as well.
